I play a Fletcher tenor guitar and posted about it here one time. http://www.sixwatergrog.com/2013/01/my-left-handed-fletcher-tenor-guitar.html<br /><br />I do approach tenor guitar and tenor banjo playing more or less the same, since I tune them both the same. The tenor guitar has more sustain, so you can get by with fewer plucked notes. It's also quieter and less abrasive than the tenor banjo, so a bit better for blending in. On this recording I find my tenor banjo playing to be annoying, but don't mind it as much once I start playing tenor guitar about half way through. The tenor guitar is very tempermental - and can sound differently on different days. I play both oldtime and Irish tunes, and tend to play the same repertoire on both insturments, however whenever I play a ragtime sounding tune in C I always prefer to play that on tenor banjo, since I think it suits that music better. But I like tenor guitar for fiddle tunes like the kind you would find on Tony Rice or Norman Blake records.Tanner Llewellynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12618290583056122314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374362644683696760.post-15850474226786276832013-03-21T15:25:47.871-04:002013-03-21T15:25:47.871-04:00Session sounded good!

I listened to almost all of it while working today, and actually knew most of the tunes as well.<br /><br />You may mention this somewhere else on your blog, but what kind of tenor guitar do you play?<br /><br />Do you approach tenor guitar playing in more/less the same way as tenor banjo playing?<br /><br />As always, thanks for sharing!<br /><br />-BrettBretterbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515487009176024319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374362644683696760.post-42564770472285291672013-03-21T15:02:31.069-04:002013-03-21T15:02:31.069-04:00Thanks for checking this out Zack!

I just upload the full recording into a program that allows me to easily designate the start and stop point for each track. This started as one long recording, out of which I created 30 different tracks.Tanner Llewellynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12618290583056122314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374362644683696760.post-60699128963761480352013-03-21T13:56:37.153-04:002013-03-21T13:56:37.153-04:00Recordings sound pretty good Lanny!
